We are a literate, intermediate to advanced AU Transformers RPG Based off of the first season of TFP with dashes of other incarnations sprinkled here or there. Characters from any continuity are welcome however must be restyled to match the TFPrime universe.
Active, with ongoing plotlines, we are always willing to integrate new characters into storylines once incorporated into the setting.
Ratchet: immune (medic) and working himself to the bare metal to get a grip on this thing. Expect a temper like a trapped honeybadger being forced to give a fuck and intent on sharing the misery. XD This is NOT going to be the end of their faction, or the 'Cons, or the Neutrals, or their entire damned race, thank you very much, even if he has to go to Primus and shove said sentiment down aforementioned god's throat.
Steeljaw: Hiding in whatever base is NOT contaminated because unbonded symbiont systems + virus = bad news. Base cat will be fielding things remotely via comms and physically hiding.
Ironhide: probably patchily immune - meaning it can probably mess up all the bits he's had replaced in the last thousand years or so, but his base frame is old enough and he was already built on archaic lines from the start that it's probably not compatible. However, taking out half his joints and any system that's been replaced recently would still leave him a patchy mess of errors.
Lennox: caught between a rock (wanting to help) and a hard place (upper command putting on the pressure). He gets the idea but he's inclined to take a dim view of sabotaging their allies before said allies prove they need it. =P
Downforce: Up for being infected! Heck, with that not being his original frame and the spark/frame dissonance, he's probably very prone to it. (He is also the Worst Patient Ever because omg, he doesn't know the meaning of "stay STILL" much less "stay DOWN".)
@krax - KO would likely be interested in poking around in the Neutral Base just to see what's there. Always a good idea to know where he can send overflow if needed, and to get an idea of who Cleaver is and how good she is. So he'll likely comm her to TRY to set up a social visit in person. Feel free for Cleaver to give him the run-around on that.
Oh god, that might actually be terribly hilarious: KO trying to pin her down for a chat and finally showing up unannounced, Cleaver dodging around so he doesn't know she's there, and KO instead running into I dunno, Sides and Cat? Or the Twisters? Or all of them? And concluding that oh Primus, the Neutral Base is full of crazy. Or perhaps Cleaver running away and going, "oh god, I am NOT HERE, help, help, interference, run him off, talk his ear off, don't break the DMZ, but still, DISTRACTION PLZ."
He would actually be a very well-behaved guest, other than showing up unannounced. ;P
@pen - *pets Electrocap*
It's totally reasonable to say that Electrocap (because is a teeny cassette) or Attrachus (because is oldest Eradicon ever and is not the usual model, strictly, anymore) are immune, if you'd like, Pen. I think that Attrachus helping out frantically with the medical efforts would be adorable. And him piping up with a key naive suggestion at the medics' brainstorming that everyone goes, "pffft, that's...a really good idea, actually" to would be awesome. Great opportunity to impress your new boss, Attrachus.
It looks like right now we need some actual volunteers to be sick. Jazz will totes do it, as he dodged the bullet last time. If he and Shadow are both down, I fully expect Hide to be a puddle of frantic.
@downforce - Knock Out is going to WELD HIM TO THE BERTH, Swear to Primus.... ;P

@neko: if Azimuth arrives with the Solus femmes, this could be an opportunity for Jaws to meet and get to know her? Especially if he's *ahem* avoiding Shadow like the plague.
@lays There is going to be a large NCP infected pool for both the Bots and the Cons so don't feel the need to make your Bot or Con sick if you'd rather have them un-exposed or potentially immune.
@aster - unannounced DMZ shows not a thing with Solus Girl doorguards and quarantine protocol intact.
@krax - Sparklings get highest priority. Its possible the moment an outbreak is detected they will get Flare away from base, potential un-infected babysitting crew possibly required. Hell - bodyguards and sparkling to Diego Garcia?
@neko - Yesssssssss, bring the base cat to my helo-bot.
As for my own bots:
Barricade - Will be vulnerable but un-exposed.
Optimus - Is immune, combo of too big and has Cybonic Plague anti-bodies from having survived the Cybonic Plague.
Sideswipe - Will be exposed at some point if plot allows.
Sola Dex - Will be using her shield generation tech to help with quarantine and keeping herself unexposed. She worked with the Solus Girls a bit during the Cybonic Plague outbreak and will know how to handle herself.
Drago - We can totally run Azimuth side plot while Jaws is hiding from the plague! (he's only hiding from Shadow if she HAS the plague...) (and then he's hiding from Sola JUST BECAUSE...)
And oh lordy, if Cleaver's neck deep in medical stuff and Jazz and Shadow are both down, Ironhide's going to be an absolute mess. Grab Blue and Flare and find somewhere SAFE and germ free.
@neko: Shadow's only on the sacrificial altar if we have a shortage of volunteers to keel over on the Bot base, but I don't see any reason she can't be working with the humans or otherwise Elsewhere so we can run the Jaws/Azimuth plot. Fickle cat is fickle. XD
Hahaha! I'd like that with Atracchus A helpful, intelligent suggestion? From a VEHICON?? Mass confusion all over the shop XD I was thinking though, because Atracchus would have also had repair parts from the communal Raddie-part bins (especially after his sojourn with Fort Max) that fact might make him vulnerable. But we can see. Chalk them both down as a 'maybe', I'm happy to play it both ways.
(IRONHIDE AND CLEAVER'S BABY IS CALLED FLARE?? THAT'S ALL I'VE TAKEN OUT OF THIS XD)
Rhinox: Volunteered to be infected. Although if he's too big, he can make himself useful elsewhere. Possibly sparkling-sitting if Ironhide is freaking out and the rest of the cohort is sick?
Elita: Apparently going to be in the thick of it? I'd kind of like for this to be her First Test Of DMZ Protection, rather than her first combat action to be throwing up half her innards on Knockout.
Roddi: Volunteered to be infected and look adorably pathetic.
I vote that if Rhinox is initially declared too big to be infected, we infect him a bit later to show the virus is mutating. Because why should life be easy for anyone?
I see the last post here was a little while ago but I thought I'd throw my hat in. If I'mresurrecting something that was too long ago forgive me!
Jets can be a whatever- infected/not infected. I can also see him bumbling around and infecting a bunch of bots unintentionally because he's himself. If we do the whole thing with bigger bots getting infected but much slower, I can see him being an unwitting carrier and spreading it all around the Nemesis or even the Neut base of his plotting goes that way as was previously planned. I think I'd would take a while for anyone to realize he was ill anyway-seeing as he's already a wreck (and everyone tries to avoid him).
